Andrew McCabe’s firing (just before retirement) recommended by FBI Office of Professional Responsibility

Both the New York Times and Washington Post are reporting that the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility has recommended that A.G. Jeff Sessions fire Andrew McCabe, a mere days before his scheduled retirement on Sunday, after which he would be able to cash the generous pension checks that federal employees receive for the rest of his life. Depending on his longevity, that would amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars or even more.

President Trump warned of this late last year:

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. 90 days to go?!!!

This last-minute attempt at accountability comes as the first tangible disciplinary fruit of the investigation by the Department of Justice’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who made a referral to the OPR.
